55 – 3. Two Adventurers (8)
8.
When Frederick, the deputy guild leader, stepped forward and strongly refused, the half-orc reluctantly returned to the bulletin board with the request form. Surprised by his large size, the adventurers opened the way with pathetic moans.
As I met his eyes again, I licked his chin, and he sighed as he ushered us into his office. By the way, Frederick, it’s embarrassing to have Emily, a subordinate, prepare childish excuses like “I don’t exist” In advance because she didn’t know when I would come.
“hehehe, that orc looks good.”
Well, half-elves aren’t in a position to say that either——no, more than that, why do you follow me? We almost went in together. I quickly grabbed the mummy and ran indoors. I heard a timid knocking outside the door, but I ignored it.
“Why do you come with a troublesome thing every time you come. When did you get involved with the half-elves again?”
“So you made your subordinates say ‘I don’t exist’? It’s really too much.”
“Don’t you think I would have done the same?”
Um, well? I don’t know because I’ve never thought of it that way. In the first place, isn’t the middle management position of ambiguous high status existing to be used and beaten by someone after all? There’s no reason why that someone shouldn’t be me. I shrugged his shoulders and opened my mouth to him, who urged his business.
“Give me a promotion.”
“What? …… You?”
“What? Oh no. Not me Boy.”
I stepped aside. Just by looking at the private office that no one else had, she must have figured out that she was a person with a place in this building, and Mira’s attitude was at least more polite than when she treated Emily. Frederick looked her up and down.
“I’ve never heard of such an adventurer.”
“Yes, I just registered. You take care of the small things, and start with the promotion.”
“Was it even gray? No, why the hell?”
“That.”
“Wait a minute.”
Since there are only the three of us in the room, we don’t really have to whisper, but somehow I felt like it, so I whispered to him. Immediately after hearing my story, Frederick’s complexion turned paler than usual.
“…… I heard he died All the wanted letters are gone.”
“That’s what I decided to do. Do you need to check with each other several times?”
Mira wondered what I was talking to him about, but she looked around, bobbing her legs, as if she had no intention of interfering. After looking at Mira and me again, he sighed deeply and sat down.
“…… If you are correct, no matter how inexperienced you are as an adventurer, an empty plate is unreasonable. I get it.”
“Oh. Why are you so cool?”
“I can’t upload it right away. I wonder if he had come to me right away and secretly asked for registration, so I didn’t take over the gray plate in front of the other adventurers. Emily is not very heavy-mouthed of hers.”
Ah, it’s the color of poop right after today…… If you carry a yellow plate, there may be people who are suspicious or suspicious of the guild’s work. I thought it would be like this, so I was going to go find you right away, but who was it that locked the door and cast ‘No Manager’? When I glared at him, he cleared his throat and added an excuse.
“Even though it wasn’t written on the sheet Emily received, I’ll reflect it later. I mean there’s something missing. Wait three days.”
“In that case, what? I can’t help it.”
“Anyway, it’s good that a skilled adventurer belongs to a guild…… He says he has no criminal record.”
Basically, there is a perception that only rough guys become adventurers, but it is difficult for a criminal who deserves a bounty to become an adventurer even after serving his sentence. Some guilds even refuse to register at all. Because of this, there are many cases where they enter the dungeon recklessly without guild support and die in vain.
Frederick coldly scanned Mira’s entire body with the gaze of a leader who was leading a group for a moment. No, how to freely use stealth skills indoors. At least, judging from Frederick’s surprised face, it really didn’t seem like he could see it.
“…… I wish you well in the future. Miss Mira.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Then go away. There are so many other things to do besides this.”
“Oh yes.”
“… ….”
Well, why do you look like that? I didn’t care about the guy’s gaze and kept making fun of my mouth.
“The adventurer level is too low, so I can’t accept a request that matches Mira’s skills. The same goes for party recruitment. He’s so picky…… Ouch. Do you know of any good parties? Rating is…… I couldn’t ask for more than blue.”
“Aren’t you already acquainted with the Party? Why don’t you ask them.”
“I’ve been thinking about it, but I’m thinking of it as a last resort.”
Well, they are the ones who think they are indebted to me, so maybe she would gladly accept Mira if I asked her to take her on an adventure. Having made some acquaintance with Gerald New while staying at her inn, she wants to see her getting along well with other adventurers. It was her father’s heart that wanted to send her daughter to school (no).
“I will arrange it along with the request. I’ll tell her Emily, Miss Mira, go find her when she visits her guild.”
“Yes.”
“And… ….”
“Get out now.”
Sheesh. How much have I helped so far? Without much pampering, we were kicked out of the office side by side. Mira stepped in first and I was about to close the door when Frederick suddenly spoke to me through the crack in the open door.
“Oh, sooner or later the carriage will come.”
“Wagon?”
What a wagon. When I sent a questioning glance, Frederick nodded his head with a sinister smile.
“You just need to know that. If you’re curious, it would be nice to retrace your steps one by one.”
“What are you saying, I’m going.”
Kung. I pretended nothing was wrong and closed the door and went out into the lobby. No, what wagon? Are you talking about coming to me? Even though I want to ignore it, I feel uncomfortable for no reason, and I feel like it’s not something that is simply trying to tease me.
“Jin?”
“Ugh.”
I came back to my senses at Mira’s voice. I have a guess, but it’s not certain, so there’s no need to worry too much. They said it would take three days, so should I stay at the inn again during that time? As Mira and I were about to start moving towards leaving the guild, the half-elf——or did you say Chloe? She is staring right at us.
“… ….”
What, what? It’s a pity that I lost in a battle of nerves with a half-orc and was looked down on, but it wouldn’t be to the extent that I couldn’t save my comrades. I don’t know why he’s so obsessed with Me and Mira. Do you just want to build up your self-esteem by taking a rookie adventurer with you? We ignored her and left her noisy guild intact.
As I came out to the street where the sea breeze was blowing, my breath was relieved. Mira tilted her head and glanced up at me, then she asked where she was going next.
“Well… ….”
I let my bangs run over my forehead and blankly looked up at the sky. Although she has taken her first step towards becoming an adventurer, simply having a plate does not make her an adventurer. It’s not just one or two things to prepare.
First of all, since I decided to act as a thief, I have to go to the workshop to get a sword to use as my main weapon like Hilda, and since there is always a possibility that I will be active in a party without a priest, I have to personally carry potions and trust her skills. However, you don’t know what type of monster you’ll encounter, so you should basically wear at least light armor, if not armor.
When I briefly told this story to Mira, she pondered for a moment, then smiled and tickled my cheek with her hair.
“Why?”
“No, just. For something curious Since you take care of everything from one to ten, I feel like I’m being treated as a little child.”
“… ….”
I couldn’t say anything back and stared into Mira’s face as she was playing pranks on me. Come to think of it, when he returned from the mansion, he asked me to carry him, and when he talked about Master, he focused on his childhood and told me. Is it because I had a rough experience at a time when I should have been loved and raised the most? He has a more arrogant face than anyone else, and even if he looks like this, he misses the warmth of people very much.
“You are right. You are younger than me.”
“Chi, is that still the sound? Jung Then, should I call you brother right now?”
Um, no. To be honest, I liked it at first, but I stopped because people said it looked like an older sister making fun of her younger sister. Never worried about that I shook her head and she burst out laughing and grabbed my arms.
“Let’s go. Anywhere. Anything Jin wants to do is fine.”
“Then let’s go pick out weapons first.”
“Yes. By the way, are you really not going to be an adventurer?”
“No.”
I keep trying to take advantage of the confusion and poke it, but there’s no way.
Being an adventurer is also a job. Then you have to work
I will continue to be unemployed.
At my firm reply, Mira puffed out her cheeks as if she had pouted this time.
